Blessing Day

Presly Jane was blessed on March 25th, one day before her 2 month birthday. It was such a special day and Toby gave her the most beautiful blessing I have ever heard. What a lucky bunch of girls we are to have such an awesome man in our lives. I am so grateful for my amazing husband and am so grateful that he is worthy and able to hold the priesthood.

After church that day we had our friends over to have some dessert. We are so lucky to have such awesome friends out here! We love them all and are so grateful for all of their support! Toby's parents were able to make the drive out to be here for her blessing as well. It was so fun having them!

My friends wrote down the blessing that Toby gave for us to have...

First and foremost, we bless you with health; that you will be healthy and well; that you will experience life to its fullest; that you will experience happiness and joy.
You have been born into a family that loves you; a family that will look after you; with siblings who love you so much and will be good examples to you, they will help navigate you through life.
We bless you with the spirit of the Lord; that you will have the Holy Ghost with you as you are faced with decisions in your life.
As you get older, you will have Faith, Hope and Charity... Hope, that your life will be happy and full, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Charity to love your fellowman.
We bless you with a kind, gentle spirit. We bless you with discernment that when you choose friends, and later, a spouse, that you will be able to make good decisions and that you will know that they are right. You will find a souse who can take you to the temple and who you can enjoy the fullness of life with.
We bless you with the knowledge that your parents love you very much. You have an incredible mother. Stay close to her. She will teach you the important things in life.

Random

The last few months I have been taking a lot of pictures on my iphone. It seems to be easier then lugging around my big camera. On Valentines Day Toby told me I could go buy a point and shoot camera but I just barely got it. So I have some pictures that I took with my phone and some that I took on my new point and shoot. (misty took some too and sent them to me). Gotta love iphones!

Some hi lights...
-Brooklyn made the swim team!
-Presly officially isn't allowed to come to nice restaurants with Toby and I anymore. (I will miss you Dewz!!)
-Nikell started tumbling with Brooklyn and did awesome her first day!
-Brooklyn loves learning to read and she is quite the little artist!
-Brooklyn and Nikell love Presly so much. They take such good care of her and are always so helpful when I ask for their help. They made her some little bracelets with their bead collection.
-I finally got my hair colored, yeah!
-Toby is doing great but he tries to be sneaky and always tries to hold Presly when she is tired so that he has an excuse to go to sleep;). (of course thats not the only reason he holds her)
-Presly started smiling and it is adorable!
-The girls are both loving their dance classes and getting ready for the recital that is coming up.
- We taped Nikell's fingers so that she stops sucking on them. She does really well with it as long as we keep the tape on. We promised a trip to Disneyland if she can kick the habit.
